The festive spirit of Diwali 2025 lit up not just homes across India, but also the hearts of fans worldwide, especially those who follow Bollywood closely. This year, actor-couple Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh added a personal and emotional touch to the celebrations. For the very first time, they revealed the face of their daughter, Dua Padukone Singh, in a series of adorable pictures shared on Instagram.
Deepika And Ranveer’s Instagram Post
On Diwali, the couple posted a joint message on Instagram to wish their fans. However, it wasn’t just a festive greeting—it was a momentous reveal. The post featured a carousel of family photos that showcased Deepika, Ranveer, and little Dua twinning in coordinated festive outfits. Deepika looked radiant in a regal red ensemble paired with traditional jewelry, while Ranveer opted for a classic white kurta-pyjama. Dua, dressed in a bright red frock, matched her mother perfectly and stole the spotlight with her innocent charm.
Dua Padukone’s First Public Appearance
Until now, Deepika and Ranveer had kept Dua away from the public eye. Born on September 8, 2024, Dua had been shielded from media attention. Shortly after her birth, the couple had requested the press to respect their privacy and refrain from clicking pictures of their daughter. The media honored their wishes, maintaining a respectful distance. However, a recent incident at the airport, where a fan tried to photograph Dua, led to Deepika expressing her displeasure publicly.
Despite that, the couple chose Diwali as the perfect occasion to introduce Dua to the world. In the photos, Dua is seen smiling, playing with her fingers, and sitting comfortably in her mother’s arms. Her two tiny pigtails added to her cuteness, making fans gush over her innocence. The final image in the carousel was particularly touching—it showed Deepika holding Dua’s hands in prayer during the Laxmi Puja, symbolizing the family’s devotion and gratitude.
Last Diwali, Deepika and Ranveer had revealed their daughter’s name—Dua Padukone Singh. Along with the announcement, they shared a heartfelt message: “Dua: meaning a prayer. Because she is the answer to our prayers. Our hearts are filled with love and gratitude.” This year, the face reveal completed the emotional journey, giving fans a glimpse into their life as new parents.
Celebrities and Fans React
The post quickly went viral. Actress Ananya Panday commented, “Oh my god,” echoing the sentiments of thousands of fans who flooded the comment section with love and Diwali wishes. Many praised the couple for their grace and the way they chose to share such a personal moment with the world.
While their personal life is glowing, Deepika and Ranveer continue to shine professionally. Ranveer has several exciting projects lined up, including Aditya Dhar’s next film and Farhan Akhtar’s much-anticipated Don 3. Deepika, on the other hand, was last seen in Singham Again, directed by Rohit Shetty. The action-packed film featured a star-studded cast including Ranveer, Kareena Kapoor, Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, and Tiger Shroff.
Looking ahead, Deepika is set to headline a sci-fi film directed by Atlee, co-starring Allu Arjun. Produced by Sun Pictures, the project is tentatively titled AA22 x A6. Additionally, she is expected to reunite with Shah Rukh Khan in the upcoming film King, further adding to her impressive lineup.
Deepika and Ranveer’s Diwali post was more than just a festive greeting—it was a celebration of love, family, and new beginnings. By choosing this moment to reveal Dua’s face, they created a memory that fans will cherish for years. As they continue to balance their personal joy with professional success, the couple remains one of Bollywood’s most beloved duos.
